Mask Together For Business
Let’s help businesses thrive in Gaston County.
By wearing face masks, we can all help restore local jobs, our economy, and have our favorite restaurants and shops quickly return to business as usual.
Mask Together For Family
Let’s protect the health and safety of our families.
Young children and older adults are at risk of contracting the virus, especially those with compromised health conditions. Protect your loved ones by wearing a mask!
Mask Together For Friends
Be a friend and protect those around you by wearing your mask!
Many of those with COVID-19 are unaware they are carrying the virus. It’s estimated that 40% of people with COVID-19 are asymptomatic, but can potentially transmit the virus to others. Those percentages are greatly reduced by wearing a mask!

Let's Do Our Part
To bring us back together three simple actions make a huge difference: wear a mask, wait 6 feet apart, and wash your hands often. These simple, yet powerful actions can drastically slow and reduce the spread of this deadly virus.
